Did you ever hear of the Lincoln assassination? He was dead long before the passage of the thirteenth Amendment. Also, the original Thirteenth Amendment had been proposed in 1861 by Ohio's Representative Thomas Corwin that would have protected and maintained the institution of slavery wherever it existed within the United States at that time. As far as I can tell, Ohio is a NORTHERN state. All of the northern states voted FOR this proposed amendment yet NONE of the Southern states voted for it. They STILL seceded from the union. This alone should tell you that the secession had nothing to do with "keeping" slavery.

This alone should tell anyone that the North did not invade the South to "free" the slaves. They wanted their economic slave, the entire South, to continue bending over and taking it up the arse from their robber barron northern neighbors.

The facts show you and your type to be nothing but ignorant fools towing the party line. We, who have common sense and brains, don't have to listen to your crap. Keep talking. You have bad breath.
